The day before: peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch slices. Put the banana slices in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for at least 2 hours. Frozen bananas will keep for months in the freezer so feel free to make big batches.
Brownie Oatmeal
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together. Pour in the almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Taste the batter to see if it's chocolatey and/or sweet enough for you. If it's not, add more cocoa powder and/or maple syrup. At this step, you can stir in your favorite add-ins: chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins, etc.
Divide the batter into two small ramequins (around 4.5-inch round) and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top appears set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool a bit while you prepare the banana ice cream.
Banana Icecream
Transfer the frozen banana slices to a food processor. Add the vanilla extract and process until it looks like soft-serve ice cream. At first, it will look like crumbled bananas but will become smooth and creamy as you continue to process. If using a blender, add 1/4 cup almond milk.
Divide the banana ice cream in two and place on top the brownie baked oatmeal and top with your favorite toppings. Chocolate chips, almond butter, melted chocolate, nuts, etc.
Notes
Peanut caramel sauce: Mix 1 tbsp peanut butter with 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.For more protein, add 2 tbsp protein powder to the banana ice cream.This is a pretty filling breakfast. If you want to make it lighter, just use one banana instead of two. You will get about one scoop of ice cream instead of two on top of your oatmeal. Calories per serving will be around 390.
